"KEH has a good selection of used Leica equipment most of the time. I ordered a 35/1.4 Summilux-TL ASPH in LN- condition and paid extra for 2nd day air for shipping at checkout. The online checkout process was easy.
Then the fun began.
I should have realized something wasn't right when FedEx travel history showed nothing after initial departure from the FedEx origin facility in Lithia Springs, Georgia, a day after shipping. But delivery date was still shown as Friday by 8 pm. Since signature was required, I waited at home all day on Friday to get it.
I saw the FedEx truck drive by Friday afternoon without stopping. But since the online delivery estimate was still Friday by 8 pm, I figured they could still do it.
When nothing arrived by 7:57 pm, I called FedEx, navigated their automated answering jail tree, and requested a delivery to a FedEx office inside a Walgreen's near me. It was supposed to happen by the next business day (Monday at this point).
On Monday I called Wallgreen's to check - no package. A call to a real person at FedEx (reached after a few button presses and shouted answers) revealed the package was still at my local Albuquerque depot (at least it arrived in my city). So I requested it be transported to the nearby Wallgreen's. (That was a mistake - should have just gone to the depot and picked it up.)
So I called Wallgreen's Monday at 5 pm local time. You guessed it - no package from FedEx.
The package finally arrived at Wallgreen's on Tuesday morning, 7 days after order placement. So much for 2nd day air.
The lesson? If you can possibly avoid it, NEVER HAVE ANYTHING SHIPPED VIA FEDEX that you must have by a certain date and time. They will delay and / or lose it."
"One of my purchases on the internet. Way beyond my expectations."
"I bought a used Nikon Coolpix P900 and the website was easy to navigate thru and they shipped it right away and I got it no problems and the camera itself looks new and works great. I will def. buy from here again. "
"The lens I ordered was fantastic! Absolutely no scratches or imperfections on the lens. Takes beautiful pictures. The shipping is the only thing I had a problem with. I selected 2 day shipping because I needed this lens sooner. 2 day shipping was $20 extra and I would have been completely fine with that had I actually received it in 2 days. It took 7 days for my lens to be delivered which would have been fine had I not paid $20 for 2 day shipping! My suggestion to KEH would be, do not offer a service that you can not fulfill! Other than that, nice lens just don’t waste your money on the 2 day shipping."
"The descriptions on the used equipment is spot on."
"I have purchased items from KEH in the past and have never been let down. The item I purchased was LN- condition. As far as I could see it looked like it was never used. Good quality items at a fair price."
"So I started photography a year ago , being able to start in this hobby as most know is very expensive and being able to rely on their rating of the gear and trust in them is so huge for me . I love that when I get my gear it’s always fast and everything is well wrapped and not moving around in the box !
Everything I own for my business has been bought at keh and I’m truly impressed I get like new items for literally 15-20% off and able to resell other items and put that towards new gear with ease and get an explanation for why I’m getting so much for a product . I love keh and support them while heartily and hope everyone tries them "
"I purched a Sony alpha 7 from keh last month and this month I ordered extra batteries and a strap and I must say this company has great used products with fast secured shipping! I am thankful the add came across my screen! "
"Items were in good shape and as described which I appreciated. Quick shipping and well packaged.
Am already looking forward to my next purchase. Feel like I got a good deal for my money and useable lenses. "
"I seem to always find what I need at the price I would like."
"great looking bag at a great price. always happy with my order, you guys don't disappoint"
"Bought an camera and was hesitant as it was used but came well packaged and looks brand new!! Customer service is also very helpful. "
"Online store worked great, excellent selection and product detail. Checkout went smoothly, and the equipment we received is perfect.
However they use FedEx to ship, which fails to deliver on time (at least for us) about 60% of the time. We purchased this lense for a trip, we're told it should arrive by last Friday. FedEx doesn't get it to us until the following Tuesday. "
"Fast delivery! Great condition!"
"As soon as I place my order, i get a shipping notification the very next day. They are very fast and convenient "
